DS is not listed in the abbreviations. DS stands for Double Stitch for the German Short Row method.

Yarn
The gram and yardage estimates are based on the on the single strand of mohair version with short sleeves (pink) and the double strand of suri with long sleeves (white). If you lengthen the body or sleeves you may need more yarn than what is listed.

I’ve made this pattern multiple times playing around with the yarn used each time. The first was with a single strand of mohair, then suri held double, and even a single strand a fingering.
